Through God We Shall Do Valiantly

For the choir director. According to [†]Shushan Eduth. A [†]Mikhtam of David. For teaching. [†]When he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

1O God, You have rejected us. You have [†]broken us;

You have been angry; Oh, restore us.

2You have made the [†]land quake, You have split it open;

Heal its breaches, for it shakes.

3You have caused Your people to see hardship;

You have given us [†]wine to drink that causes reeling.

4You have given a banner to those who fear You,

[†]In order to flee to it from the bow. [†]Selah.

5That Your beloved may be rescued,

Save with Your right hand, and answer [†]us!

6God has spoken in His [†]holiness:

“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth.

7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the [†]helmet of My head;

Judah is My [†]scepter.

8Moab is My washbowl;

Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;

Make a loud shout, O Philistia, because of Me!”

9Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who [†]will lead me to Edom?

10Have You Yourself, O God, not rejected us?

And will You, O God, not go forth with our armies?

11Oh give us help against the adversary,

For salvation [†]by man is worthless.

12[†]Through God we shall do valiantly,

And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.
